Translation of the song lyrics Les Incorruptibles - Petula Clark

Les Incorruptibles (original)

L’alcool de bois
Ça rend fou
Celui qui en boit
Il est fou
La gueule de bois
Ce n’est pas tout
Le lendemain matin, tu n’y verras plus du tout
Mais les Incorruptibles s’intéressaient à lui
Dans tout Chicago ils cherchaient ses distille ries
Les Incorruptibles pour tous les moyens
Cherchaient à le coincer pour lui briser les reins.
L’alcool de riz
C’est pareil
Tu se ras surpris
Au réveil
Mon pauvre ami
Un conseil
Si tu tiens à la vie, tu peux jeter ta bouteille.
Mais les Incorruptibles s’intéressaient à lui
Dans tout Chicago ils cherchaient ses distille ries
Les Incorruptibles pour tous les moyens
Cherchaient à le coincer pour lui briser les reins.
Tous ces alcools
Prohibés
C’est du pétrole
Raffiné
Du vitriol
Destiné
A te faire tomber raide avant même d’y goûter.
Mais les Incorruptibles s’intéressaient à lui
Et un beau jour ils firent sauter ses distille ries
Oui les Incorruptibles afin d’arroser ça
S’envoyèrent au milk-bar du coin devinez quoi…
Des ice-creams soda.

Les Incorruptibles (translation)

wood alcohol
it drives you crazy
The one who drinks it
He is crazy
The Hangover
That's not all
The next morning you won't see at all
But the Incorruptibles were interested in him
All over Chicago they were looking for his distillery
The Incorruptibles for all means
Were trying to pin him down to break his back.
rice wine
It's the same
You will be surprised
Wake
My poor friend
An advice
If you care about life, you can throw away your bottle.
But the Incorruptibles were interested in him
All over Chicago they were looking for his distillery
The Incorruptibles for all means
Were trying to pin him down to break his back.
All these alcohols
Prohibited
It's oil
Refined
vitriol
Destined
Knock you down before you even taste it.
But the Incorruptibles were interested in him
And one fine day they blew up his stills
Yes the Incorruptibles in order to water it
Went to the local milk bar guess what...
Soda ice creams.
